16x9 render size selected but end render smaller?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hi - I have an animation set up to render to 16x9 but but when it finishes it is smaller than 16x9. I get the same thing when I render it as 1 image. I verified I have 16x9 widescreen choosen in render settings but when I put it on a 16 x 9 photshop document it is much smaller. I am trying to use an image series from an animation using timeline. I want to be able to have a photoshop action do a few things on the image so its complicating things that the image has to be expanded in photoshop to cover the 16x9 background. Is there some other action I need to take to get it to output the 16x9 size? Thank you

    You are specifying image aspect ratio, not size. Expand the image within the Photoshop canvas.

    thx - are you saying there is no way for it to output an image that is 16x9?  I am setting up a photoshop action for all the images in the anumation and not sure how to have the action expand the image onto the canvas. (maybe that can be done, I was setting it up just to place the full size image) One by one thats no problem but I have 120 images in each of  my 4 send clips.

    What size is the photoshop document into which you are trying to paste the render?

    Type in a width of 1920 instead of 1200 that should make it full HD but leave it at 16x9.

    16x9 is an aspect ratio it doesn't specify pixel density inside that image. 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4k are all 16:9. 

    1200x675 is sub 720p. If you need a 1080p image you should set the render size to that.

    To futher clarify for anyone else with this question,..

    16x9 is not the same as saying you want an 8x10 photograph. 8x10 means "8 inches wide by 10 inches tall". 16x9 means "For every 16 pixels in width, the image will have 9 pixels in height"

    So a "Full HD" image (aka 1080p) would have 1920 x 1080 pixels
    1920 / 16 = 120 * 9 = 1080

    Newer formats like 4K, 8K, 16K only increase the number of pixels, not the ratio of width to height. All of these are also considered "16x9" displays, they just have more pixels.
    - 4K = 3840 x 2160  ( 3840 / 16 = 240 * 9 = 2160 )
    - 8K = 7680 x 4320  ( 7680 / 16 = 480 * 9 = 4320 )
    -16K = 15360 x 8640  ( 15360 / 16 = 960 * 9 = 8640 )
